Review and Rating

Comment: We love this school! The teachers are wonderful, the facilities are lovingly maintained and provide rich learning environments. Classrooms are team-taught with 3 teachers per room, which makes for a ton of personal attention and, I think, a more pleasant, supported experience for teachers. My kid absolutely loves it here and my second will be starting this fall. About the facility: Has outdoor space, Has afterschool options. What would you change? I wish they provided some/all food.

Length of time: 2 days
Child’s Age: 2-3 years3-4 years4-5 yearsType of facility: Privately run daycare/preschool with multiple classes and teachersREVIEW: This program really is so wonderful. It's a Montessori program that has both a 2's class and a mixed age classroom for the 3+ crowd. From the warm and engaging teachers to the administration that is flexible and invested in making it a positive experience for both the children and the parents, I was regularly impressed. My son started in the 2's class and it helped facilitate a gentle separation, so that by the time he went to preschool, the transition was seamless. There are videos so parents can observe the classroom from a comfortable waiting area. There was daily communication with the teachers and if any issues arose, they were also collaborative. The variety of age appropriate activities ensures that the kids are never bored or doing the same thing every class. My son eagerly anticipated going to school and his development was truly fostered there. I couldn't have asked for a better early education experience.Would you recommend? Highly recommendWould you send your child again? Absolutely

I was very concerned that she would have a hard time separating from me, but their Gentle Separation program worked like a charm. I love that we had the flexibility of only sending her a few times per week for a few hours. She got to socialize and learn and it wasn't as overwhelming as a full day program would have been. Very warm and caring staff. Awesome curriculum that truly focuses on her developmental needs and interests.Would you recommend? Highly recommendWould you send your child again? Absolutely

We left a free UPK program last year because our son was too bored there. He loved coming to PSM every day. They kept him busy, challenged him daily and made sure that he was learning and growing. We also did their Gifted and Talented prep course and got into our #1 choice BSI. I could not be happier and highly recommend.Would you recommend? Highly recommendWould you send your child again?
